Mike Gallo's immediate family:

I worked with your husband and father at Breyers many years ago and he was a wonderful man and i enjoyed working with him. He was also very kind and a gentleman. We laughed many times together and shared good memories. Mike was a great teacher and also a good friend. I was proud to know him in his lifetime. Now you have a special angel to walk with you and guide you until you all meet again. Sorry for not attending the funeral I had to work that night.
